The <a href="http://newsroom.uts.edu.au/">University of Technology in Sydney</a> recently unveiled a new type of graphene nano paper that is ten times stronger than a sheet of steel. Composed of processed and pressed <a href="http://inhabitat.com/static/2010-08-06-amazing-miniature.html" target="_blank">graphite</a>, the material is as thin as a sheet of paper yet incredible durable -- this strength and thinness gives it remarkable applications in many industries, and it is completely recyclable to boot.
